Hyperstition blog

Hyperstition is sliding out of its China-Iran-UK Axis:

Read this and this one for example.

You can also check our ‘Technorati Link Cosmos’ or ‘Extreme-tracking’ to visit the websites or blogs generously named or introduced Hyperstition (although one or two links have disappeared from the lists: ElectroKIN and ???).

Thank you.

On-topic:

Yes, things seem to be really building... if you look at the site tracker, you'll see referrals are coming from all over the place; the first week they were almost all coming from k-punk, so that's a very encouraging development...

Good stuff...

Just recently got turned on to your site. Great stuff! Although a fan of Burroughs and the whole 23 memeplex, I'd never heard of Hyperstition. Jives quite nicely with my own explorations into chaos magick, sigilisation, and hypersigil narratives. I trust you're familiar with Grant Morrison...?

Thanks lv.

I'll level with you, I'm not especially familiar with Grant Morrison, but others have made the connection between GM and hyperstition. Can you tell us a bit more about him?

Thank you and Welcome!

Well, because the term Hyperstition has been engineered by CCRU (www.ccru.net) in the 90s. Mark, Nick and Anna as the members of CCRU can talk about the history.

>>>I trust you're familiar with Grant Morrison...?

Yes, there are definite similarities but think Hyperstition is more polytical in the sense of Deleuze&Guattari. As mark suggested; we'd appreciate it if you would discuss Grant Morrison’s insights on hypersigil. I guess the term is also an affirmative answer to Lovecraft (btw, have you read GM’s piece on Lovecraft?)
